The Toolbox Pane
Understand how the Toolbox pane organizes Magic xpi components and how to recover deleted entries quickly.
Overview
The Toolbox pane is one of the three main information panes in Magic xpi Studio. The other two are the Solution Explorer and the Properties pane.
When you select a flow in the Solution Explorer, the Toolbox pane is populated with available Magic xpi components.
Component Categories
Toolbox components are grouped under categories such as:
- Utilities
- Triggers
- Converters
- File Management
- Connectors
- Communication, Mail, and Messaging
- General and User Components
Some components can appear in more than one category, and user-created components are also added here.
Working with the Pane
- Open Toolbox from the View menu or use
Ctrl+W, X. - Select and drag components into the flow editor.
- Use category grouping to locate the right type of component faster.
Refreshing the Toolbox
If components are accidentally removed from the pane, restore them using Edit » Refresh Toolbox.
